This in vitro study exposed human osteoarthritic and non-osteoarthritic chondrocyte pellets to a sinusoidal 15 Hz electromagnetic field at 5 mT or 8 mT for 7 days. Under 5 mT, osteoarthritic chondrocytes showed increased expression of cartilage-related genes (COL2A1 and ACAN) compared with controls, while…
